Chop and prop it or wait until it’s older? Plant is Echeveria Violet Queen Variegated. A very thin leafed echeveria and surprisingly drinks more water than any of my other succulents. #Echeveria #SucculentSquad #Succulents #planthelp

i wouldnt, itd probably struggle with rooting. it isnt getting enough light btw, the downturned leaves and empty space between them are from etiolation. variegated echeverias are stuuuupidly light hungry lol, east facing windows cant provide enough light for them. youll need to get a strong grow light for it. ive heard good things about sansi bulbs/standing lights (for individual plants) and barrina tube lights (for groups of plants). youll have to do some googling to figure out which ones would work though since i dont understand the units they use for light measurement lol. my lights arent specifically grow lights so i only know about kelvin and lumens :p
@HotKanna92 You’re definitely right about its light needs! So greedy honestly lol. I have rotated it in front of every window around the house and it doesn’t seem to be enough. I’m going back to college soon and I chose a room for myself that gets ample direct light in the morning and midday. If that doesn’t work I will definitely be buying some grow lights!
